ORONO WEEKLYTIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 1Oth, 1969 ORN- WEEKLY TIMES Second Class Mail Registration Number'Q368 Pubiished every Thursday at the office of publication Main Street, Orono, Ontario. Phone 983-5301 Established in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Editor and Publisher Irnproving On of the biggest selling points for the establish- ment of County systems of education was to bring about an equality of opportunity for ail students at ail levels.,It was pointed out time and again that some areas were en- joying a fulier course of education and that other areas were-f ar behind in their scope and calibre of education. The NorthumberlandDurham Board of Education lias moved with considerable speed in losîng in the gap of one sueh area ofý inequality and at fthc beginning of fthc new sehooL term in September, kindergarten will lie avail- able to ail students in the two Counties. Along with their speed of decision they have exercised some caution'in that ,they are in many cases using facilities on a rentai basis or making use of previously disbanded schools. The kindergarten system is by no means the ulti- mate but the move and the scope of the plan appears to be wifbin logic and reason. Many had questioned the possibîl- ity of equality but it does appear to be coming to pass. The local Board of Education, like others, is receiv- ing criticism on the salaries being paid the Administrafor and assistants. Tax payers are watching with more than an interest for the setting of the budget. An appreciatabie in- crease lu education taxes will no doubt stir up a tide of anger. The salaries being paid the executive staff wiii not in themselves bring about a calamity in taxes. If the men are worth their salaries, and -nô doubt there.is a possibil- ity some are, then there is no overpayment. The Board bas not set its poiicy of salaries but it sbould keep open ifs preregative of choice and change if such is needed. There is no need to carry dead weight. To this point the Board bas exerciscd- ifs authority with consideration and from this corner appears to be aclvaucing in extendi.ng the scope of educatian in the twin Counties. What Others Say CANADA SIIOULD STAY IN Prime Minister Trudeau's aunouncement of policy on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was probably deliberately vague because of this week's NATO foreign ministers' 'meeting in Waslington. 1Rather than present our allies witb a fait accompli, External Affairs Minister Mitchell 'Sharp wili hear their views as be has already done with West German Foreign Minister Willy Brandt. The a~nnouncement was also suf- ficienitiy vague to aliow for some serions second thoughts. When Mr. Trudeau wiil speli out details of timing and extent of withdrawal of Canadian forces from Europe- phase two of the'policy sti#ement as it is called - is any- body's guess. But the concern of those of bis supporters who want a strong Canacian presence in NATO bas sur- faced with the resîgnation of Senator John Aird as chair- man of the Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association. The case for retaining our forces in Europe remains as valid now as 20 years ago. Basically, NATO is an associa- tion of free nations designed to make it lear to the Soviet Union that we wîll not have our frecdom, or the freedom of our allies, subjugated. As Mr. Brandt pointed out in Ottawa, it is the solid- arity of NATO that bas brouglit the Russians around te the point whcre they will discuss demilitarization wif b the allies. Canada is very mueli part cf that soiidarity. Mr. Trudeau appears te believe that Western Eur- ope is now capable cf defending itself. The Telegram dis- agrees. NATO intelligence estimates that the Warsaw Pact countries can, muster over 100 divisions cf 10,000 men each while the allies have oniy 76. If Mr. Trudeau is right, then the UJnited States should witbdraw toc. But this would leave Europe vuiner- able. France is no longer a military partner. The Cemmun- àst Parties cf both France and Italy whatever their dif- férences with the Russians, remain strong. Tbey wculd cerf ainiy capitalize at the poils on any North America'n abandoument cf Europe. NATO, and the Marshall Plan and Truman Doctrine wbicb preceded it, bave saved Western Europe from the stafus cf Czechoslovakia or Rumania witb their Ilimited soeveroignty." Whle thec coid war has eased, if is not yet ended. - The price cf continued Canadian participation in' NATO will be higb. The cost of reýequip ping and maiatain- ing our, forces fhrougb the mid-1970s is estimated at $500 million. The Telegram believes the Canadian taxpayer will be willing te pay this bih as part of bis commitmnent te the free world -- with eue proviso. The Federal Government must fake every step te stamp eut the profiteering, extrav- agance anid 'eriminal waste that bas used up se mucli cf ouîr defence budget in the past., Mr. Sharp, wbo bas been on record as a NATO sup- porter in the past, may bring back from Washington some airgumYents thaf -,vil enable Mr. Trucleau te demonstrate bis renowjned feiiiy -The Toronto Telegram ContactSigned Mr. E. Woodyard of the Or- ono Police Trustees lias informed us that the Trustees have signed the contract with the contractor for the Orono road project. Work on th'e project will start when the half4load regulations are tak- en off the roadsin this area. He .felt this could be within the next month. I't is expected to take eight weeks to complete the work. Basebail Registre- tion BASEBALL 1REGISTRATION On April 8th there was 26 Tykes, il Pee Wees, 7 Bantams, 3 Midgets at the Basebail Regis- tration. This is a very good turn- ouf. It looks like there will be a Tyke team, for sure but coaches are needed for this team. If there are any more Pee Wees or Bantams they must reg- ister on Monday, April l4th be- tween 6.30 and 7.30 in the Arena. If there are no more registering these two teams could combine f0 make a Bantam teamn but coaches are also needed for these teams. Please don't forget to reg- ister APRIL 14. It does not appear that there is sufficient interest in eithe!r a MiVdget or Juvenile team for this year. 4 k'iIIed In Accident A two-year old R.R. 1 Bowman- ville girl and ber 71-year old grandfather died only minutes a- part in neighbouring Toronte hospitals Monday afternoon tiD bring the death foll from a Mon- day crash near Hampton to four,, including two Oshawa men.
